Hello All!
My 5 yr old is now a lot more active on the computer (Nick Jr, Disney Jr etc) and I want to get him his own PC for our office......Obviously, the only thing he will be doing is browsing and playing web based flash games and streaming Netflix.

I want to do this for as cheap as possible and don't need anything fancy......I'm not sure about lower end CPU's and that's why I'm stuck......AMD APU maybe???/

Anyways:
-Need Clean Copy of Windows
-CPU
-Motherboard
-Ram
-PSU
-Case

I have a 20'' Monitor and Mouse/Keyboard.

It will perform better than any AMD APU. You can add an extra 4 GB of RAM if you want to repurpose it later on.
